commission In cutting the city tax levy from 71 cents, the amount recommended, to 60 cents. This will reduce the revenue below the amount of the city budget. "This is not Just. It is not true democracy," said Councilman Von Pein. "We are running Richmond. The city is not run by the state tax commissioners. We ought to know our business better than the state tax board." Von Pein moved that tne council protest, with a "red-hot" resolution, the action of the state board, and further demand that the rate asked by the city, be granted. Charges were made by other councilmen that there was something behind the action, and it was said that (he state administration "was playing politics and trying to keep down the tax rates, until after the next election." Charges were made by Councilman Waidele that "it looked like somebody had gone over and put the governor wise to this." "They did. We met them coming out of the governor's office when we appeared before the tax commission. It so happened that the governor wasn't in, but we have got a line on who they were," responded the mayor. Robbins ProtestsCity Attorney Robbins said he had telephoned Commissioner Sims, of th.3 tax board, and told him that the lowering of the rate would cut the city's revenue approximately $40,000, below the estimate for the coming year, and that the city's affairs could not bo conducted on this basis. 'It is evident that this is an effort to

keep down the tax rate." said the ittorney, "pending the election, and, although I am a red-hot Republican, it looks like bad politics to me. It simply means that the year following election we will get a higher tax rate." The budget, before it had been sent to the commission, had been made as low as possible, said city officials, and it was impossible to get along on a basis of less than 71 cents, the rate which was recommended to the commission, after a half cent had been taken off in two places, cutting it from 72 to 71 cents. Comment was made on the increase in salaries to the police and firemen, which were still unsatisfactory, and other salary increases were expected to be demanded during the comins year, and with the prices shooting higher "hourly", as one councilman put it, the city could barely get by with 71 cents. At CO cents -the city would be running behind about $40,000 annually. "It looks as if the tax commission

' The mayor then informed him that it was necessary to get permission from the state tax board before they could float a bond issue. Extra Session Held. The session then closed, and members of the board of works, the mayor, the city officials, and the councilmen retired to the board of works room to go over the budget once again and see if they could possibly get by on a CO cent levy. After a lengthy session it was decided that it could not be done. The council voted to join the Richmond Home Telephone company in a petition to maintain the present rates, fixed a year ago by the public service commission and continued by the

government, when the latter took over

the telephone system, whose control expired last December. This is a formality. It was stated, after a protest from

not the city could control the trim mine trees on city streets.

Earlham will enter two teams of three men each in each debate. Men will be chosen sometime before th holidays. Class primaries will also be held before the holidays. Triangular debates will be held in March. Ralph Nicholson, Kent Morse, Julius Tietz, Doneld Snyder, and John George Baker are old men who will probably secure places on the teams. A number of new students will also try out.

ENGLES PRACTICE : HARD FOR GAME

Two practices will be held by tha Engles 828 Army Reserves, this week, the first to be in the South Tenth street park, Wednesday evening, and. the other to be held at the playgrounds, Saturday afternoon. Manager Taylor is trying for a game with Anderson, next Sunday, but the deal has not been closed. Anderson has one of the fastest professional

teams in the state, but Captain Sherl-

idan believes that the Reserves will

be able to give them an interesting

time. Portland went into Sunday's game

with the expectation of meeting the

Prizes for the winners in the state oratorical contest will be offered by the Misses Seabury of Massachusetts, according to word received by Professor E. P. Trueblood from the secretary of the United States Peace Oratorical Association. One prize of $75 and $25 will be awarded to orators receiving first and second places. Professor Trueblood, secretary of the

state association, announced that the state contest will be held sometime in April. A prize of $25 has also been offered by the Peace Association of American Friends, to a student in each of the Friends colleges in the, country. This prize will be offered to the Earlham student who represents the college at the state contest. Whether or not the Sophmore class is superior to the Freshman class will be determined next Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock when a tug-of-war will be waged on Clear Creek. Picked men will be chosen from the two classes to participate. A rope will be stretched across Clear Creek and one or the other of the classes will be pulled in. A large number of boosters for each side is expected. The senior class enjoyed a camp supper along Clear Creek Saturday evening.

Miss Clara Comstock, coach and head of the girls' athletic work, has announced that the class games will be played the first week in November and the championship games the Monday preceding Thanksgiving. At this time the Soph-Seniors will battle with the Freshmen-Juniors. Regular class games cannot be held this year because the Senior class does not have a sufficient number of girls. However, Miss Comstock anticipates regular class teams for next year, if the college holds up the present enrollment, with the material now on hand. Class captains are senior, Grace Edwards, junior, Helen Rust; sopho, mores, Alice Forsythe, and freshman, Nellie Donovan.

Victory in next Saturday's game with the Little Giants at Crawfordsville is the object of this week's drive. According to Coach Mowe, the selfconfident Wabash outfit are liable to receive a startling surprise.

"She was a nice, demure little old lady too, with grey hair, and a grandmother." He explained that efforts to educate people to buy good records are almost fruitless. Starting with the more melodious solos and orchestra numbers, and working up to heavier orchestra records is the only method which nearly works. But then after the dealer thinks he has his patron entirely turned from the path of the evil jazz, he insists upon tugging home some "Blues." "You can see the effect this has had on records. Our good records that formerly sold for $3. have dropped to $1.50 and are scheduled for other falls, if the musical morale of the public doesn't spruce up. At that, the artists are making more in royalties."

"Trutona will sure do the work," was the brief, yet convincing statement made a lew days ago by Mrs. L. Heet, wife of an employe of the Wayne Works, who lives at 406 North 21st street. Mrs. Heet has many friends in Richmond who will no doubt be pleased to learn of her recent recovery from troubles of more than a year's duration. "Nervousness and indigestion were my ailments," Mrs. Heet continued. "My appetite was very poor seemed as though my food never tested right. I'd have eevere pains in my stomach and often felt bloated, especially after meals. I was so nervous I couldn't rest well at night. Sometimes I'd experience a stinging pain around my heart. I'd become, short of breath at times, too. I always felt tired and rundown and seldom felt like doing my housework. "Trutona has wonderfully improved my appetite and the food I eat tastes as it should now. My nerves are in much better shape too, as I'm able to

for some time. The stinging pains around my heart have disappeared, and ths shortness of breath also has ceased to bother me. I'm considerably stronger and my housework isn't a drudge as it formerly was. Trutona has improved my condition a great deal and I'm glad to recommend it."

Why the Trust Company

"But Arthur dear, Harry is so anxious to pay his half in furnishing these two tiny rooms at college. It will only take $125, and Margaret and I will somehow skimp it out of our share of next quarter's allowance." "That's rather good, Eessie your next quarter's allowance is half spent now. O, very well, if you're going to look so glum about it I'll send a check. Anyway, I'm awfully busy this morning, Sis." This man was his brother's executor. The two children were growing the mother was ambitious for their welfare everything did cost more but the estate was small and the income was fixed. Executing his brother's will you see. was one item in the day's work of this (or any other) busy man. Such a man is always more likely to be a brother of the

teeship inviolate from the wheedlings of those he loves ; from the specious pleas of those to whom a "No !" is difficult to say, from any partnership with his human emotions. Corporate trusteeship is the answer. The trust company's only business as an executor or trustee is precisely to carry out the testator's instructions. It can't be cajoled or wheedled by the extravagant or thoughtless, it has no blood relations and is never appointed on a "good fellow" basis. The reader may now be saying: "That's very good philosophy for the rich man. My estate is a small one the ordinary trust company wouldn't bother with it." Which conclusion is neither true nor sensible. For the man with the small estate must make sure that every dollar will keep on counting for

all it's worth. He needs the trust company's certainties even more than the "bigger" man. Before selecting your trust company
